Maureen,

I would not get to upset over this ... prime directive is to upload material. All of my uploads have good metadat for th subject field:

http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=garthus&;sort=-publicdate

I kept bugging them about what you said; I have already volunteered some of my time to do this but I get no reponse from the appropriate people. While I do not think that this is a catastrophe ... it would be good to start doing it now before the collectiosn get even bigger ... also I do not think that government reports are junk; they are just informtion like averything else. Look at some of the bluegrass music for example; some of the materials being posted are very nice. My argument is that they are not making full use of the talents and skills of the volunteers out there; but what you talk about can lways be done later; getting books up should till be the prrime directive.

Gerry

as long as the people at the IA keep closed ranks, they make themselves the Elite by default
